Get ready to be surprised by some of the figures and enjoy a nostalgic trip through Tom Cruise’s extensive filmography.
Data compiled from various reputable sources including Box Office Mojo, IMDb, Wikipedia and Forbes.
The figures mentioned in this video are based on publicly available information and educated estimates. Actual earnings may vary.
FAQ:
1. Are these figures adjusted to inflation.
NO
2. How can an actor/director earn MORE than the budget of the movie?
This phenomenon is called a 'backend deal,' which means the actor receives a portion of the film’s long-term earnings in addition to their upfront salary. These earnings can come from box office revenue, streaming, DVD, and Blu-ray sales, among other sources. Such deals can significantly boost the actor's total earnings, sometimes exceeding the film's entire budget.
3. A movie with a $100M budget making $100M at the box office is hardly a 'Break Even,' right? Studios share the box office income with theaters, and there are other expenses too.
That's correct! However, I chose this simplified approach because movies continue generating revenue after their theatrical run-through home media, streaming, and other channels. These additional earnings usually follow the box office trend (Hit or Flop) and can reinforce or even improve the labels I give these movies in my video.

You never know when a movie might blow up, the agents who make a deal with a small % for the actor, if it ends up a block buster, that's where they can make huge money. He's one of the rare famous actors who almost guarantee a money maker.

[@chris-_-3073]

Earned every dollar - 👍

[@MLM68]

I don’t know I have not seen half of those movies. A lot of them are very forgettable.

[@samkitty5894]

$ 1, 127 billion...that will buy bread, milk and TP in this astronomical inflation.

[@johnsontamati8991]

Say what you want about Tom but he's an awesome actor who delivers.

[@MS-wh5lt]

only 1 bomb is pretty amazing

[@fredsalfa]

War of the worlds budget 132M, Tom’s salary $100M. That’s 3/4s of the budget to his salary! 😮 Luckily it grossed $600M

[@engdatum]

would have been a deal similar to this ....$40 mill base salary ,,,,,,,,and 10% of box office takings (60 mill) ,,,,,,,,,,,, so if the movie flopped he would not have got the 60 mill

[@wolfie5]

Show me the money!

[@caramanico1]

I would lkove to see this for rock bands. I remember reading - back in the day - about Elton John making $7 million in one year. 1975 I think. Nowadays that is probably the line item budget for guitar picks.

[@BoxOfficeJoe]

Interesting idea, @caramanico1! However, my channel focuses solely on Cinema. However, I love the idea and I may just have a friend who could create such a channel...

[@rubenvt]

Now imagine the amount of royaltys he also gets from alot of these movies probably

[@tanyabaker6515]

Please do Mr. Jason Momoa. I am surely not the only person who is interested in how much he has made.

[@perrydrayton8071]

That's great, how about Dwayne Johnson net worth

[@BoxOfficeJoe]

That should be interesting @perrydrayton8071! Added to the work queue! 😉

[@gustaaf1892]

Cruise is a banker and almost guarantees a movie's success. No wonder he commands the fees he is paid.

[@antzooma]

how much of the money has gone to Scientology though ?

[@michaelwelter9509]

My thoughts

[@akim2342]

Dam tom dont miss ! 😂

[@Bradyn192]

Denzel Washington Jake Gylllenhaal and Ben Affleck please

[@davewhite4206]

It's disgusting this man earned this sort of money!

[@JacobMay-hk7kw]

Harrison Ford

[@BoxOfficeJoe]

You are in luck with Ford, @JacobMay-hk7kw! His paychecks are already revealed: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWW1mqOAbNl2jKM

[@anthonyg7933]

A billion dollars. What I wouldn't give just to have 10k dollars in saved up for my 50hrs a week.

[@tanyabaker6515]

How about Dwayne Johnson 🤔.

[@Thenvsnow-Vibes]

Hello Dear channel owner , is your channel moetized ?

[@brucef310]

It has over 2,000 subs so Yes.

[@leostawicki7283]

Far & Away was a BOMB!

[@BoxOfficeJoe]

It's true that it was only a moderate success upon its release, but it was still a hit. Plus, over time, it gained a significant cult following and earned quite a bit through streaming, DVDs, and other formats.

[@leostawicki7283]

Try Johnny Depp....

[@BoxOfficeJoe]

Great pick @leostawicki7283! Added to the work queue 😉

[@leostawicki7283]

NOT ACCURATE at ALL.

[@BoxOfficeJoe]

Specify please so I can double check.
